• WEIRD NEWS: Pervert Had President's PermissionOct 23, 2018

  A Southwest Airlines passenger who was arrested for groping a woman sitting in front of him told police he didn't do anything wrong because President Trump said it's OK.

  49-year-old Bruce Alexander was flying Sunday from Houston to Albuquerque when he allegedly grabbed the woman's breast. The victim said she was sleeping and woke up when she felt a hand on her right breast. At first she thought it may have been an accident, but then it happened again. 

  She got up from her seat and yelled at Alexander. She then asked to be moved to another seat. When the plane landed, police met Alexander at the gate and placed him under arrest. He reportedly told officers, "The President of the United States says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts."

  He's charged with abusive sexual contact. 

• WEIRD NEWS: Chewed Out Over Chewing Gum

  A Swedish man bit off more than he could chew after snatching a pack of gum from a stranger at a classical concert -- only to have her slap him silly when the music stopped.

  The man, whose name was not released, got angry when the woman took out her gum during a quiet passage of Mahler's "Symphony Number Five," so he grabbed the pack and threw it to the floor. She didn't react immediately, but after the orchestra completed the piece, she started a mini-moshpit by grabbing him and smacking him in the face, sparking a full-on brawl.

  A spokesperson for the concert hall said she was concerned about a repeat of that event next month, when the orchestra tackles “Verdi’s Requiem ... [That] could be a high-risk concert actually. Extremely powerful, will awaken strong feelings ”

• WEIRD NEWS: Immaculate Intrusion

  Two Canadian women managed to make a clean getaway after breaking into a stranger's home to vacuum and tidy up without permission.

  A homeowner in the town of Upper Tantalon, Nova Scotia called cops after a neighbor informed him that two women let themselves in, cleaned the house and left without knowing they had the wrong address. The house had been left unlocked to let that neighbor come in and out to take care of a dog that had been left behind for the weekend.

  After determining that nothing was missing, the "victim" opted not to press charges. Cops issued a statement saying, “Although the house was cleaned for free, RCMP would like to take this opportunity to remind homeowners to ensure their doors are locked at all times,"

• WEIRD NEWS: Robbery, Eat Fresh

  Police in Georgia are looking for a thief who robbed a Subway restaurant but also gave the sandwich chain a ringing endorsement.

  Investigators say 34-year-old Zachary Miller was waiting for his sandwich to be made when he jumped over the counter to steal cash from the register. He ended up fleeing the restaurant with about $100, but he also left without the most important thing...his sandwich.

  As workers waited for police to arrive, Miller took a risk by actually returning to retrieve his sandwich. He made off in a black car and police are still trying to find him. He also has a couple of outstanding warrants.
